Sometimes after some weeks of uptime when I entered my office in the morning, I discovered a freezed Plasma. To fix this, enter the system via SSH and then execute this command:

sudo systemctl restart sddm

And without re-login:

kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell

If a NTFS volume cannot be mounted due to a corrupted filesystem, it might be repairable by using nftsfix:

sudo ntfsfix -d /path/to/blockdevice

Example: sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sda1

After running this command the filesystem might be able to mounted again.


If you got any error of the following when running apt or anything else:

locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale (ā€œCā€)

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

Just run the following command and select the correct locale:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Or use:

sudo localectl set-locale en_US.UTF-8

To allow any user to read/write a directory adjust permissions with:

chmod -R 0777 /path/to/dir

-R sets the permissions recursively.

Sourced from superuser.com - Chmod to allow read and write permissions
